Why most interventions to improve physician prescribing do not seem to work.
Review in CMAJ : Canadian Medical Association journal = journal de l'Association medicale canadienne, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04142645 (Pilot Study of the OptiMEDs Intervention), which is not on this map. Cited by 26 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Pilot Study of the OptiMEDs Intervention: a Complex Intervention for Multidisciplinary Medication Review (Including Nurses, Pharmacists, and Physicians) in Nursing Homes, With ICT-support for the Evaluation of the Appropriateness of Prescribing and for Side-effect Monitoring
